School newspapers should cover a variety of topics, from current events within the school to international issues. If a paper has something of interest for everyone, it will be successful and widely read among both students and teachers.

A good school newspaper would be one that talks a lot about the issues and students' concerns and how they can be solved together as one.

What makes a good school newspaper to me is an updated list of the school's events and activities. Also, it would be good if the newspaper connected to the students more, an advice column put in there would be nice.

A good student newspaper is one written by students, for students. The newspaper should serve as an information source for school events and activities as well as a reliable source of entertainment or advice.

SHANNON K. DRZYZGA Chicopee Comprehensive High
A good school newspaper should catch the interest of the students and also explain things in an easy fun way. The papers should be for the students and by the students.

GRACE E. LAVELLE Sullivan School, Holyoke
A good newspaper would be one that many students could become involved in and contribute to. I myself would then see that the adults in the school see the students as young adults instead of children. The newspaper should also inform students and parents on upcoming events. Lastly, since not many parents get to see their children's work, the newspaper should have excerpts of stories the students have written in class.

ABIGAIL E. ASSELINAgawam High
A good school newspaper needs to cover numerous topics throughout the school, not just the ones the writers or editor like. Agawam High has a very good newspaper and I always enjoy reading it. Different students are always being featured. The newspaper also helps to educate the student body about current events in the high school.

BRANDI N. BASSSpringfield Renaissance
You really need active and dedicated students to have a good school newspaper. The people who run the paper should try to come to every meeting and the school paper should be interesting and resourceful.

SHEILA S. FALLONHolyoke High
A good school newspaper focuses on the issues going on in the school and also the world outside of school and takes into consideration the opinions of the students and teachers about what they would like to see in the newspaper.
